Observation Of = Man Who Deals Er.
clusively In These Documents.
II deal in nothing but tax titles" said
Cyrus Johnston recently to a Detroit Ne,,s
reporter. ''The business has reached snch
magnitude that it requires oil nv time.
Candldly, II wero out OF it would choose
some other calling. There isn't the money
in it that people imagine. Vat it is per-
fectly honorable business Aad in the
whole range of my experience there is
nothing have to be ashamed of. l buy
up tax titles at every sale and depend for
my profits upon the Sc Elements made with
parties directly interested. Frequently I
let people of moderate means down with
out expense TO speak of, and l must say
that the men OF the most means are the
toughest customers have to deal with.
On certain property owned by one CT the
wealthiest firms i'll the city, hold tax
title Of twenty-five years standing. They
know it's cloud on their land, but I can
get nothing out of them. They simply saw
that the matter isn't worrying them SO
long as they don't want to sell, and then
they stop. Most dealers prefer titles on
land outside the city. Give me city titles.
Settlements are prompter, come easier
and pay better.
"There's one thing the average business
man does not understand. This Is the un.
certainty attaching to what even experts
may pronounce perfect title. Some old
deed, transfer or request, some matter of
unpaid taxes or lost heir comes up after
years of quiet possession, and
either money must be paid or
possession forfeited. Look at that big
file case full of papers there, Every docu.
ment is menace to property now owned
in the city or county, and liable at any
time to pass into new hands. A very rich
citizen called on me yesterday and agreed
to pay me handsome fee for simply
out the tax records so that
he might know exactly how he stood and
how much he would have to pay in order
hat his land might be free from future
,rouble because of such claims against it.
These taxes titles are calculated to make
rouble, and the only safe way is to see
hat they're fully paid before you buy
and and then settlo regularly yourself"

his mobiles, among whom had promised

fifty thousand or more people, kept in

The affair began by the King personally
throwing into a sliding trench various
packages of goods, consisting Of cottons,

and tobacco, all Of which were fought
fiercely for by the crowd below. Then

BATTERY OF THE ATLANTA.
The Firing of the Guns Proves too
Much for the Vessel.

The Firing of the Guns Proves too
Much for the Vessel.
WASHINGTON, July 2l.-Secretary Whit
ney has received the official report from
Capt Bunce of the recent trial of the bat
terry of the ironclad Atlanta. Capt. Bunce
fired at target one round with a reduced
charge and she'll and one round with full
charge and shell from each gun. The result
of this firing has been to completely disable
both S-inch breech-loading gun carriages
and to throw doubt upon the efficiency of
the 6-inch breech-loading gun carriages and
the 3-pounder rapid fire gun mounts The
arrangement of the battery has proved to
be bad, as some of the guns have to be
abandoned by their crews that other guns
may be fired at the target The report
shows in detail the extent OF the damage,
which consists mainly in the breakage
of the electric light plant the driving in of
panels, the disarrangement of joiner work,
the breakage of cabin windows, and slight
splin6ering of the deck. Commenting
on the results of the battery trial, Secretary
Whitney to-day said: ''The reports are not
very favorable as to the first trial of the guns
of the Atlanta, but as yet no matters of
great moment have turned up. The trou-
bic, to my mind, is this If two rounds of
her battery gave this result, what would a
dozen dol And it is that which we are

EACH OTHERS VERACITY.

Each Mans Claim Backed by His
ds-Government Leader Smith
Demands the Doctors Suspension
The Speaker of the House Rules
That the Apology Was Sufficient.
LONDON. July 21.--Dr. Tanner, member
for Middle Cork, appeared before the House
of Commons this afternoon in obedience to
its summons TO explain the charge made by
Mr.. Long, member for Wiltshire, that the
doctor had in the lobby and in the presence
of several members called Mr.. Long
a ID snob,n and used other inn
proper language. DIR. Tanner said he
regretted the trouble the House had been
put to about the matter. Mr.. Longs man
ncr and language when he approached him
Tanner) in the lobby were part of an ar
rangement to annoy him. Mr.. Long twice
importuned him, and said in reference to
his exclusion from the division, a matter
over which he was still very sensitive, "that
was a nice sell you got here.n Mr.. Tanner
said he was sorry for replying to Mr.. Long
as he did and withdrew the indecorous eX.
preSSions.
LONGS DENIAL.
Mr. Long arose and denied DR.. Tanners
statement, declaring that he did not mako
use of the alleged words about ''sell"
Mr. Bond, member for East Dorsetshire,
and Mr.. Bigwood, member for Brentford
division of Middlesex, were present and
they could confirm his statement Both
gentlemen confirmed Mr. Longs statement.
Mr.. O'Shea, member for West Donegal,
said he also was present, and that he heard
Mr.. Long say: THAT was a nice sell YOU
got" Mr.. O'Shea added that Dr. Tanner
was ieered at by Mr.. Long and his com.
rades.
Sir Julian Goldsmid moved that the
House let the matter drop.
w. II. Smith said he regretted that he
was unable TO accept Mr.. GoldsInids advice.
DR. Tanner had offered no explanation of
his failure to attend the House last Monday
when the matter was first brought up Par

If months suspension was too long tn,

Mr. Gladstone contended that DIR. Tan

that DR.. Tanner imputed falsehood to Mr.,
Long. Did not Mr.. Long in like manne,
